Preparation
is the key to any successful venture into the great outdoors. Here
is a checklist of frequently used camping gear to consult before you
head out. As
you and your family continue camping, you'll get a better idea of
what you want to add or delete from this basic list.

The following list is only a suggestion of some of the supplies you
should consider for your first aid kit. You should personalize your
kit to meet your needs, activities and situations. The key to a good
first aid kit is its usability. What supplies to include and how much
of each item should be based upon your individual needs.

*Take a First
Aid class and a CPR class - keep
current on this information*Keep supplies
in a well marked, durable, waterproof container*Keep the
contents organized*Know how to
use everything in your first aid kit*Inspect
content often, re-supply as needed*Keep readily

If your camping trip includes a trip to the beach you won't want to
forget to pack ...

fishing poles
tackle box
worms/bait
beach sheet
"swimming suits
beach towels
beverage cooler
"floaty" toys (inflatable water toys)Label these floaty toys. It's amazing how many other kids have
identical floaty toys.
sand toysLabel your sand toys with permanent magic marker. This saves on a
lot of "sandbox" wars! A mesh bag is great to keep these toys in. This can be
dunked in the lake to rinse off the sand before it goes back in the car.
life jackets

Take most of this for "just in case" or for those rainy
days in the case of the travel games, because actually the kids are
just busy having fun exploring.

A few of the items
bug jars,
football or big round ball
matchbox type cars/trucks for playing in the gravel or dirt
travel games
Yahtzee
cards
Monoploy
Reading around the fire - rain or shine!
bubbles
Roller Skates
Roller Blades
water pistols
water balloons
